Eight contractual government officials sacks – Gilani

The Supreme Court had earlier asked the government to take steps to reverse re-appointments on contract at the senior level in police and in investigation agencies, while hearing a case on re-appointments of officials on contracts.

The appointments of the sacked officials were carried out without fulfilling essential legal requirements.

Sources told that a cabinet committee headed by secretary cabinet division, Nargis Sethi, was scrutinising the cases of another seven officials which were appointed on contract, but by following legal necessities.
